CIOs and CISOs are tasked with defending and protecting corporate enterprises in an increasingly hostile cyberscape.

Companies across all industries worldwide reported a total of 42.8 million detected attacks last year, according to the PWC Global State of Information Security Survey 2015. That’s a 48 percent increase in incidents since the prior year.

Various reports indicate that cyber attacks will trend up for the rest of 2015, and in 2016.

More than 209,000 cybersecurity jobs in the U.S. are unfilled, and postings are up 74 percent over the past five years, according to a Peninsula Press (a project of the Stanford University Journalism Program) analysis of numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
